Reading Passage 1: "William Kamkwamba"

Answer: 
F safety 
Part of the passage: 
Of course, creating a new transport system will not be cheap or 
easy. But unlike adding a dedicated bus lane here or extending the underground railway 
there, an innovative system such as Jensen’s could transform cities.
And it’s not just a matter of saving a few minutes a day. According to the Red Cross, 
more than 30 million people have died in road accidents in the past century—three times 
the number killed in the First World War—and the annual death toll is rising. And what’s 
more, the Red Cross believes road accidents will become the third biggest cause of 
death and disability by 2020, ahead of diseases such as AIDS and tuberculosis. Surely 
we can find a better way to get around?

Q 14. Paragraph A
Answer: 
IV Physical characteristics that allow birds to migrate
Part of the passage:
 
Birds have many 
unique design features
 that enable them to 
perform such amazing feats of endurance. They are equipped with 
lightweight, hollow 
bones, intricately designed feathers 
providing both lift and thrust for rapid flight, naviga-
tion systems superior to any that man has developed, and an ingenious heat conserv-
ing design that, among other things, concentrates all blood circulation beneath layers of 
warm, waterproof plumage, leaving them fit to face life in the harshest of climates. Their
 
respiratory systems 
have to perform efficiently during sustained flights at altitude, so they 
have a system of extracting oxygen from their lungs that far exceeds that of any other an-
imal. During the later stages of the summer breeding season, when food is plentiful, their 
bodies are able to accumulate 
considerable layers of fat, in order to provide sufficient 
energy for their long migratory flights.
